steve, take it away. >> sure. well, as we all know, the president has been facing a pretty stiff economic headwind. what i want to do is lay out how his economic situation compares to indicators to those of other people who have run for president recently. you'll see interesting results in terms of how the economy's performed. one measure people often look at is real gdp which is how much has the economy grown. so for each of these presidents we start with the beginning of their first term, and then we progress ourselves out to their re-election point. and what you can see not surprisingly, because we talk a lot about the weak economy, is that by this measure, obama is really pretty much at the bottom of the pack. and the other four presidents that have preceded him all had substantially better performance when it comes to plain economic growth. now, economic growth alone is not a recipe for re-election, as you can see, because bush 41 did not get re-elected, and jimmy carter, of course, did not get re-elected. >>
